The scale grows. How am I going to deal with those unsightly wax drips? Is it not ruined? Of course not . . . it's handmade.
Batik doodles on cotton.
Blue and green (for you my love), on handwoven cotton (a pain to batik).
The result of a tchap that I had made on Old Elephant Road. A tchap is basically a metal stamp used to transfer the design from hot wax receptacle to the fabric (in this case Caritas Silk). This method is used in more commercial batik applications. As you may imagine this design would have taken a lot more belaborment with a tjanting.
